Why Jim's CBD Belongs in Every Pickleball Bag
Pickleball is more demanding than it looks. Discover why Jim's CBD is becoming a must-have for players looking to make topical CBD part of their before, between-match, and post-game routine.
If you play pickleball regularly, you already know the drill.
You pack your paddle.
You grab your balls.
You bring water.
Maybe a towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes.
But there's one thing I think every serious pickleball player should have in their bag:
Jim's CBD.
Not because pickleball is dangerous.
Because pickleball is demanding.
And the more you play, the more you start to appreciate taking care of your body before, during, and after you step on the court.
Before You Play: Get Your Body Ready
Pickleball looks easy from the sidelines.
Then you play.
Quick lateral movements. Short sprints. Reaching. Rotating. Bending. Lunging. Repeated swings. Fast reactions.
And depending on how competitive you are, you might do it for several hours.
Before I play, I like to apply Jim's CBD to the areas that I know are going to get the most work.
For some players, that might be their knees.
For others, their shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, feet, or lower back.
The idea is simple:
Pay attention to your body before it demands your attention.
Jim's CBD is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and fits into a pre-game routine without adding another complicated step.
Between Matches: Stay in Your Routine
Tournament days are a different animal.
One match becomes two.
Two becomes three.
Then suddenly you've been on the court for hours.
There's often a lot of downtime between matches, which makes it a perfect opportunity to check in with your body.
How are your knees feeling?
How are your feet?
What about that shoulder?
Maybe your elbow is getting a little more attention than you'd like.
That's when I like having Jim's CBD right there in my bag.
A quick application between matches can become part of your routine while you hydrate, grab a snack, and get ready for the next game.
After Practice: Take Care of What Worked
The end of the match isn't necessarily the end of the day.
For many players, that's when they start noticing how much work their body actually did.
Maybe your legs are tired.
Maybe you've been gripping your paddle for two hours.
Maybe your shoulders and back have had a workout you didn't realize you were getting.
That's where I like using Jim's CBD as part of my post-play routine.
Apply it to the areas that worked hardest, give yourself a few minutes, and move on with your day.
Why DMSO Makes Jim's CBD Different
This is where Jim's CBD is different from many topical products.
Our formula combines broad-spectrum CBD with exceptionally high-purity DMSO.
At Jim's CBD, we refer to DMSO as an antioxidant carrier. While it is chemically classified as a non-toxic organic solvent, DMSO is also a naturally derived sulfur compound with antioxidant properties and an exceptional ability to penetrate the skin.
That makes it an important part of our topical formulation.
The goal isn't simply to put CBD on your skin.
It's to create a topical formula designed to help deliver those ingredients through the skin to the area you're focusing on.
Why Pickleball Players?
Pickleball is unique because it attracts players of all ages and fitness levels.
You don't have to be a professional athlete.
You don't even have to consider yourself an athlete.
You just have to enjoy playing.
And that's exactly why taking care of your body matters.
You might play once a week.
You might play every morning.
You might play three-hour tournaments on the weekend.
Whatever your level, you're asking your body to move, react, rotate, reach, stop, start, and repeat.
Your paddle is part of your equipment.
Your shoes are part of your equipment.
Your water bottle is part of your equipment.
Why shouldn't taking care of your body be part of your equipment too?
Put It in Your Bag
The best thing about a product you actually use is having it when you need it.
That's why I think of Jim's CBD as a pickleball-bag essential.
Keep it with your paddles.
Keep it in your tournament bag.
Keep it in your car.
Use it before you play.
Use it between matches.
Use it afterward.
Make it part of your routine.
Because the goal isn't to stop playing.
The goal is to keep playing.
And if you're anything like the pickleball players we know, that's exactly what you want to do.
Pack your paddle. Pack your water. Pack Jim's CBD. Then get on the court.

We Use a Lot of Jim's CBD at My House
I get asked all the time if I actually use Jim's CBD. The answer is yes—every single day. Between my wife and me, we go through two Traveler jars and one Large Pump (1000mg) every month. From old baseball injuries and sore joints to the everyday bumps and bruises that come with an active lifestyle, Jim's CBD has become a staple in our home and part of our daily routine.
People occasionally ask me,
"Do you actually use the product?"
My answer is simple.
Every single day.
In fact, between my family and me, we go through

That's not because we're dealing with one big injury.
It's because life has a way of adding up.
At 44 years old, I still live a very active lifestyle. I don't drink, I stay busy, and I do my best to take care of my body. But being active also means carrying around years of old baseball injuries, sore joints, cuts, scrapes, bruises, trigger fingers, and all the little aches that come with refusing to slow down.
I've found myself doing something I never expected...
I'll walk by the bathroom counter, open the jar, and spot-treat whatever is bothering me that day. Maybe it's a finger. Maybe it's my shoulder. Maybe it's my knee after a long day.
It's become part of my routine.
One thing I've noticed is that I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. Of course, I know that's not just because of one product. Living an active lifestyle, eating well, and avoiding alcohol all play a role. But Jim's CBD has become one more tool that helps me stay moving and feeling my best.
Still Catching Nine Innings
One of my favorite places to be is behind home plate.
I currently catch all nine innings in a men's fast-pitch baseball league. If you've ever caught a baseball game, you know exactly what that demands from your body—squatting inning after inning, blocking balls in the dirt, taking foul tips, getting up and down hundreds of times, and staying focused until the final out.
Years ago, I would have expected to pay for that the next morning.
Today?
I honestly feel great.
That's my experience, and it's one of the reasons I continue to keep Jim's CBD within arm's reach.
Why We Keep Coming Back
There are plenty of CBD creams on the market.
What keeps us reaching for Jim's CBD isn't the label—it's the way it fits into our daily lives.
Whether it's sore hands after yard work, a stiff shoulder after coaching baseball, tired knees after a long day, or simply taking care of those old bumps and bruises that seem to stick around a little longer than they used to, it's become something we genuinely rely on.
When you use something every day, you stop thinking about it as a product.
It just becomes part of your routine.
That's exactly what Jim's CBD has become in our house.
